[LM_NET] Target: Does AR really help

[Mari Ferguson <marivferguson@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello,
   
  I am a member of the school improvement team and one of our goals is to increase 
our reading scores.  We do not currently implement any type of program like AR, but 
instead focus on small group tutoring.  
   
  I am wondering if schools who are using AR or something similar have shown actual 
growth in their reading scores.  I would welcome any suggestions or feedback that I 
can take back to the team.
   
  Background on the school, K-8 Native American Grant School located on a college 
campus, we have a highly mobile population because most of our students are here 
while their parents attend college.  
   
  Thanks!
